3 What is H 2 and a Fuel Cell? H 2 : Energy vector. It is as green as the energy used for obtaining it FC: Electrochemical dispositive that converts chemical energy of hydrogen into electric and thermal energy PEMFC Is the most common Fuel Cell used for transport Is the Fuel Cell that is nearest to commercialization (2015)

4 PEMFC for railway sector 150kW FC for buses and stationary applications UTC Power NUVERA BALLARD From to 20000h of life time Easy integration

5 H 2 integrations in rail sector Vehicle Projects and BNSF Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) Switcher locomotive of 130 Tons Started up from 2009 Non commercial vehicle Mean Power: kW; Max. Power: 1MW. Autonomy: 8-10h of intense working 240 kw PEMFC (2 x Ballard P5 TM ) + near to 800kW of lead acid batteries 70kg of H 2 (2 groups of 7 tanks at 350 bar each one) Intercity train of 70 Tons Started up from 2008 Non commercial vehicle 120 kw PEMFC (Nuvera Forza) and 360kW of Li-ion Batteries Maximum speed 100km/h 18kg of H 2 at 350bar Bus voltage 1500VDC

6 Tram H 2 Project Target: Integration of a new hybrid power train based on Fuel Cell in a tram that will operate in the LLovio to Ribadesella railway track. FABIOLO model from SNCV series st Prototype Design parameters defined by means of end use characteristics.

7 Hybrid description architecture

8 Vehicle inputs Vehicle performance Energy model Model inputs (Information compilation) Mean acceleration: ± 0,4 m/s 2. Maximum acceleration: ±1 m/s 2 Maximum speed: km/h Maximum power: 120 kw Driven motor: 4 asynchronous motors of 30kW Vehicle size, weight, consumption of auxiliaries Maximum passengers: people Track and use inputs Track length and profile. Number of stops and duration Number of daily trips

9 Energy model Model inputs (Information compilation) Power plant inputs: Parameters, characteristic curves and dynamic responses of fuel cells, batteries, supercaps and inverters. Definition of control system loops.

10 Algorithms Energy model Bus voltage should be constant. Supercaps maintain bus voltage and smooth transitory states. They help batteries during traction peaks and braking. Batteries should maintain the charge of supercaps. Fuel cells supply all the energy throughout the railway track. They always try to work in steady-state conditions.

11 Fuel Cells 2 Fuel cells HyPM HD 12 from HYDROGENICS Li-ion batteries 156 cells of 90Ah each one in series. Supercaps 3 units of BMOD0063 P125 from MAXWELL DC/DC power converters and inverters from FUJI Electric. Hydrogen storage: 12 bottles of 50 l of compressed H 2 at 200 bar Bus voltage: VDC Powerplant sizing

12 Powerplant Distribution H 2 tanks Control cabinet Auxiliary and compressor inverters, transformer and sinusoidal filter Supercaps Braking resistors Motor controllers Compressor Reactances Batteries DC/DC Converters

13 Powerplant Distribution PEM Fuel Cells Air compressor Braking unit Reactances Power electronics
